Yey!

I'm the DP 😉 I usually use the CCM41&CCM8. I prefer a stereo (MS) PoV of the camera. IMHO it's not too heavy. Patrick

How did you convinced the DP to put such a weight (on the other hand a "camera mic" never sounded better).

Propaganda in what way? It shows how each county voted. It's just like a state voting map, but with the resolution to the county level. I don't understand why you posted the second paragraph or how it relates to the map.

No. That map is by area, not population. In reality there are lots of teeny tiny red dots everywhere, and big huge blue blobs where cities are. That map is highly misleading, bordering on propaganda in my opinion. Do you really think every single person in Oklahoma voted R? Anyone who says the economy was made better is delusional. Anecdotes read, to me, as this: "daddy maxed out his credit cards and then I got to spend all that money!" Trumplethinskin increased the debt by almost 8 trillion. Anyone who thinks he was good for the economy has their head deep in the sand.

UPS has the Modern stand out for delivery, so I should be able to post some photos on the weekend: Mini Baby Stand (Modern Studio) 2½” Grip Head (Modern Studio) Holder for Boom Pole (Kupo) Sandbags or Manfrotto Counter Balance Weights I hope to use the stand principally with the following boom poles: Weight: 405g/14oz plus exterior cable and mike| Maximum length: 2.3m/7’6” (Panamic 58-5803) Weight: 680g/1.5lb plus mike | Maximum length: 2.7m/8’9” (K-Tek K102CCR)

I am doing my 2nd gig for a local author I connected with via social media and mutual connections. I did a short story for him which included recording, mixing, and added foley/sound design. I charged $250 for all this due to it being my first audiobook project and wanted to set the relationship off simple. I gave the voice actor (friend, and recording vocalist I have a trusted relationship with) $50, while I pocketed the $200 because the Sound Design took much longer than expected. Anyways, I have just received another gig from him, this time with no sound design. Just record it, patch up any problems with the vocals (Soothe2 plugin is a lifesaver for this), and mix it to industry standard. Based off sampling the most popular audiobooks, I can confidently say I can accomplish industry standard with minimal effort. So it's not like Post for film where there would be a stark difference between my work and Skywalker Sound. The book is 108 pages, and based off the prior recording, I believe that would take myself and the vocalist anywhere from 8-16 hours. What should I charge per hour or per the whole project? I told the client I would give him a quote once the recording has been finished. To add to this briefly, I was stunned at the low quality of a vast majority of popular audiobooks. Feels like an SM7B and a quiet room is literally all you need.

My experience shows that zeps and deadcat do not help much. Only in the case of very light wind, it will certainly help.

Yep-- Thank you Jeff!

This is (still) Jeff's party. He gets to say what he wants to.

A slight breeze or even a decently stiff wind isn't my enemy: like any pro sound person I have zeps for the mics and sandbags etc for the stands. If need be I tie off the stand and the boom to something heavier. This goes for outdoor music recording too.

Tourtelot, Point well taken. Maybe Jeff just had to vent and then we contributed.

And from the peanut gallery, my vote is to use the political boards to discuss the election. JWSound is about location sound recording? Political squabbling, no matter how civil (and often not) is why I won't open LinkedIn ever again. No one would miss me in either forum but it just seems like a bad idea. My $.02. That and $4.98 will buy you a Starbucks and enrich the life of a union busting oligarch. D.

Justus, I sincerely hope no one else copies his leadership model. We desperately need rational leaders who support their allies and who will stand up to North Korea, Iran, China and Russia. Sad times. There are far more important issues than putting tampon dispensers in boys bathrooms.

The only people in Germany that are happy about the election of Donald Trump are the nazis from AfD and I think in part ultra-capitalist liberals who are happy about the stock market reaction and tax cuts for rich people. And populist politicians who will go on to copy this style of "politics". The coalition in Germany broke over expanding the military help for Ukraine because it's very likely that Trump will abandon them. Germany as second biggest supporter wants to step up so Putin doesn't just get his way. The Liberals refused to take up new debt for that and wanted to cut social security, pensions and other public spending instead. Social Democrats and Greens didn't want to do that, so the coalition broke (after already very exhausting 3 years with a lot of beef). This is the first direct consequence of DT getting elected. As I said, it's impossible to ignore this shitshow and it will have serious consequences not only for marginalised groups in the US but also for many other people all over the world who could just watch in desperation. That's why so many people are pissed.

Whilst internetting, I find slightly conflicting results but these seem to be coming up the most. Total votes: 2016 136,787,187 2020 159,738,337 2024 158,549,000 as of 2pm ET Nov 6 2020 66% of eligable voters 2024 64% of eligable voters as of 2pm If you don't vote you don't get to complain. I am waiting to see all the news articles about the far left Hollywood entertainers and music performers leaving the country, like they threatened to do. Oh, wait. They threatened that in 2020 too. There is no way a John F. Kennedy could get nominated in this current Democrat party let alone get elected. He was a democrat who actually cut taxes. It is sad. Yes, he was widely reported to be a serial philanderer and would probably have been given a book of hall passes by the MeTo Movement but he did great things. All of us are flawed. Whoops, sorry. They threatened that in 2016. I need to poof read more.

My mind is blown by all of the non-voters in USA. I knew they existed. I just didn’t realize in such high numbers. I thought the high turnout at the polls was a sign of far exceeding voter turnout vs 2020 but it’s just the opposite.

TC was feeding into the FX3 via micro-USB Cable, but there's a splitter box between tentacle and FX3 because the 1AC needs to roll camera via Remote, the remote signal also goes into the micro USB (so the TC and Remote went into splitter box, and then into the micro USB port). After 4 shooting days, the production had to replace the FX3 with an FX6 due to a latency problem for the 1AC, which caused problems with getting the picture in focus. With the FX6 BNC TC Input, timecode was fine for the rest of the project.

Justus, It seems you are not the only one in Germany upset with Trump's win. German ‘Traffic Light’ Coalition Government Collapses over Green Agenda, Growing Debt, and Concern About Trump’s Return. According to German media. ...Chancellor Scholz admitted that Wednesday’s election of Donald Trump also spurred the government’s collapse. Trump’s return to the White House added to the urgency of having a clear economic stance for the country so that Berlin can show “we can be relied on,” the chancellor said. My best wishes for your governance.

PMC, Having known Jeff for over 40 years, I doubt very much that he is either sitting on the beach or smiling right now. Moe

Paul F, "Don't mention the war. I did, but I think I got away with it." John Cleese Jeff, See what you started? I hope you are sitting on a beach drinking the cocktail I bought you smiling with amusement.

You are right. And the history of my country should be the biggest warning sign to not go down this road again.

Justus, I don't blame the voters. Nor do I resort to inflaming them with name calling. Americans were only presented with two viable candidates. Both VERY flawed. And yes, they voted for their own self-interest. They are allowed to do that. To think otherwise is not democratic. I get your passion but to move forward Americans will do well to find common ground and move forward on that. But, as Obama said, "Elections have consequences." Well, the result of this election is a clear mandate for the conservatives by taking the Presidency, the House and the Senate. Americans don't want globalists mandating American policy. This is kind of the reason our 'original insurrection' back in 1776 came about (yeah, I get it was colonization and tacation without representation but you get my meaning).

But then, for 81 years, the world has wondered the same thing about Germans........ I couldn't pass that ripe one up. The map shows the divide for the most part, between rural and metro America. Voting by county:
